What Skiers Say About Alpe d'Huez

Alpe d'Huez attracts a broad range of skiers from beginners to experts, with users frequently noting the extensive green and blue runs that make it particularly suitable for learners and families. The resort's high altitude and sunny aspect are regularly mentioned, though this can lead to variable snow conditions lower down and slushy afternoons in spring. Multiple reviewers highlight the long runs, especially the Sarenne black, and the efficient lift system connecting to satellite villages like Vaujany and Oz. Après-ski receives mixed feedback, with Folie Douce praised but some users noting limited options and early closing times. Food quality both on-mountain and in town is consistently well-regarded, though prices are noted as typical for a French resort.

Been Skiing at Alpe D’Huez for many years now. Always been a fantastic holiday. Great range of runs and Le Tunnel is always a test. Amazing mountainside restaurants and amazing food. Definitely recommend for all levels of snow ability

The resort is amazing and has something for everyone. There are lots of different runs to do from greens to blacks. The apres ski is great too with folie douce on the mountain side and lots of great bars in the village. The lifts are efficient and accessible with various lift types to get to each part of the mountain.

Beautiful resort. Great skiing.
It’s a little bit pricey and you’re a captive audience when it comes to eating out etc, but the standard of food is good and the skiing is outstanding!!!

A great resort for skiers of all levels with a large variety of pistes and off piste options. Fantastic for families with plenty of ski schools and green and blue runs for the kids to hone their skills. Also lots of entertainment options other than skiing. A major plus was the sunshine - this resort really lives up to its reputation as the island in the sun!
We didn’t get the best snow conditions but there were still plenty of options at higher altitudes which were accessed easily by the efficient lift systems.

Well organised resort across 3 levels of lifts- greens/ blues at resort level, use the dmc lift for blues/ reds and blacks at the glacier. Iconic runs if you want them in the sarenne and tunnel runs, and plenty of off piste if the works for you.

Night life is great- ski schools well worth the investment- ESF class 4 found some great powder!

It was very large many satellite villages for accommodation options and the ski area is very large.we stayed in vaujany and the pistes were amazing and we got a powder day at the end. However the lifts were good but the queues were sometimes quite bad but is to be expected at the time of year. The snow park wasn’t great as the majority was shut but it was still pretty good.

Brilliant resort especially for families with so many runs, ski school and easy to access restaurants. So much to do in the town and vast ski areas for all levels. On the other side great resort for those looking for apres, with a dokie douche and plenty of bars.

Very windy and icy. The resort was very sunny so the entire resort was iced over due to lack of snow. Had not snowed for a couple of weeks. The lower half of the resort is controlled by only a few lifts so it gets every busy and there is lots of traffic

Great resort but hard to get a full idea of it’s potential due to its lack of snow at the moment but would recommend.

Personally I really loved the resort I feel like there was a good mix of everything. While there were things that could of been better I have no complaints on anything the ski school instructors were amazing there was plenty of places to go for some food and a drink and besides skiing there was so much to do. The slopes themselves were lovely and had a good mix and i especially loved marcels farm it was such a calm run and an amazing run for the whole family.

A great place for a ski trip with friends or family. Plenty of different types of runs that tick the boxes. Going there later in the season we didn’t have the best snow but it was still a great trip and I’d certainly go back

Poor snow quality and pistes not groomed well - lots of small pebbles and debris on main pistes. Off piste would be great were there enough snow!

For a beginner / nervous skier like me it’s a great resort with a fair few options from easy to use lifts. Private lessons were affordable and I progressed well during the week up to gentle blue runs. There are infamous black runs “Le Tunnel” and plenty of red runs for those more experienced, and a good resort for mixed abilities to enjoy meeting up at lifts or for lunch.

I also enjoyed the ability to ski back to the chalet.
